PAEC/Florida Statewide Purchasing Conference
PAEC/Florida Statewide Purchasing Conference Panhandle Area Educational Consortium July 16, 2013 Rick Everitt 877-873-7232 www.paeccoop.com Wyndham Bay Point Resort 4114 Jan Cooley Drive Panama City Beach, Florida 32408 52 Who May Use the PAEC State Cooperative Purchasing Program Executive Director Panhandle Area Educational Consortium Patrick L. McDaniel Since the creation of PAEC in 1967, small, rural school districts in the Florida Panhandle have benefitted from shared services such as data management, risk management, technology, professional development, and cooperative purchasing. Over the decades, we have prided ourselves in being one of Florida's leaders in multi-district initiatives. Success stories include leadership in staff development initiatives, accountability in business support operations, and Florida's first multi-district distance learning program delivered through cutting edge technologies. Our Cooperative Purchasing Program was created and designed with one simple goal in mind: Share our services to save our districts time and money. By affiliating with the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies, PAEC can now offer incredible savings to school districts, city and county governments, and all non-profit organizations in the state. We are very pleased to offer school and government leaders, purchasing directors, finance directors, business partners and others this unique opportunity to gather and discuss ways to maximize financial efficiencies while providing superior services to our constituents and customers. It is only fitting that we offer this opportunity as part of our 46th Annual Leadership Conference. Making prudent and wise choices with tax dollars is part of effective leadership. 2 Municipalities Counties School Districts Volunteer Fire Departments Volunteer First Aid and Rescue Squads County and State Colleges Independent Authorities Quasi-State Agencies Independent Institutions of Higher Education Non-Profit Organizations ie: Churches, Civic Groups, etc. Purchasing Procedures Go to www.paeccoop.org and review the awarded bid categories and select the products or services of interest to you. Under each vendor listing is a contact name and number. Contact the vendor directly to request PAEC Cooperative State Purchasing bid prices and discounts. Mail your purchase order to the vendor as directed (the PAEC Cooperative State Purchasing contract has been promoted by all member vendors and represent the "best" prices offered in the state for these items). Purchase orders must include the following wording: "As per Bid Award of the PAEC Cooperative State Purchasing Under Bid # AEPA IFB ____". These bid numbers are listed on our website www.paeccoop.org/purchasing.html 51 Program Coordinator of Technology Support and PAEC State Cooperative Purchasing Sample Legal Advertisement for Products or Services Rick Everitt The past few years have been among the toughest economic times we have experienced in decades. Yet, through it all, we have learned to do more with less while creating innovative solutions to financial problems. By working together for common goals, we have learned to harness our collective power and create opportunities where none previously existed. Such is the case with cooperative purchasing. The PAEC State Cooperative Purchasing Program is the Florida representative of the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA). Through this affiliation, our contracts are competitively bid and tailored to meet Florida’s strict purchasing guidelines allowing us to streamline your purchases and ensure all bidding requirements have been met on any product or service we advertise. But the real strength in this affiliation lies in our ability to leverage the purchasing power of 26 other states who are also members of AEPA. During the conference, you will hear from both cooperative purchasing executives and vendors who will provide you with great detail about the services your cooperative offers. Please ask questions and take time to talk with our vendors. You will find that the PAEC State Cooperative Purchasing Program is a great benefit to your school and organization. You simply cannot find an easier, safer, and more efficient way to purchase products and services. Thank you for attending this year’s conference. I look forward to hearing from each of you as we strive to make our purchasing program the very best it can possibly be. 50 3 Agenda 8:00-9:00 Registration 9:00-9:10 Welcome -St. Andrews Ballroom V and VI Patrick L.

Clover Originally hired as the Director of Business/Treasurer, Pamela Clover also assumed responsibility for the Wilson Education Center’s Co-Operative Purchasing Program. Immediately, she began searching for an e-procurement system capable of meeting not only the needs of the Center but also the needs of member School Corporations. Ultimately, she designed and had built an e-procurement system known today as IAESC Procurement (Indiana Approved Educational Shopping Cooperative). Currently this system is used by schools in Indiana as their primary method of purchasing through the Wilson Education Center’s contracts. Clover is regarded as one of the nation’s leading experts in Cooperative Purchasing Management. 3 42 11 Conference Participants Awarded bid categories Athletic Surfaces Carpeting Custodial Supplies Digital Copiers Food/Furniture Industrial Supplies Instructional Supplies Interactive Classroom Kitchen Supplies Medicaid Software Mobile Learning Solutions Musical Instruments Office Supplies Online Professional LEARNing Parent Notification Portable & Modular Buildings Roofing School Management Services Scoreboard & Marquee Signs Sports & Health Supplies Technology Catalog Work Order Management PAEC Cooperative State Purchasing will help you locate and solicit the best bid possible for products and services.

The company that changed the way athletes view “artificial turf”. Before FieldTurf, natural grass was considered by many to be the best solution for sports fields around the world – even though it required constant maintenance and could not withstand heavy use. FieldTurf’s inventors were not trying to create a better artificial solution, they were trying to replicate natural grass.

D, Executive Director Florida Association of School Administrators Purchasing Power Originally published Friday, June 1, 2012 When the Florida Legislature adjourned the 2012 session, many school administrators were left perplexed over a new state law requiring school districts to enter into agreements with purchasing cooperatives to maximize the purchasing power for goods and services. Florida Statute 1001.42 Compliance Program is designed to encourage districts to achieve an overall 5% savings through the use of new cooperative arrangements or consortium contracts. While many new state mandates may seem daunting at first, the new cooperative purchasing legislation will not only save school districts money but time as well. Plus, finding a solution to the new mandate is easier than you might think. One of Florida’s most aggressive and extensive purchasing programs, the Panhandle Area Educational Consortium’s (PAEC) State Cooperative Purchasing program, is tailor made for school districts as well as other governmental or non-profit organizations. The program partners with the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA) to leverage the purchasing power of 26 member states to benefit all schools, regardless of size, with the ability to purchase at equal buying levels. Pre-bid contracts that meet or exceed Florida’s strict purchasing guidelines are available statewide with PAEC acting as the representative in Florida on behalf of AEPA. All contracts are nationally bid and locally awarded. Through the PAEC/AEPA partnership, districts can purchase pre-negotiated, pre-bid products ranging from office supplies, vehicles, Medicaid billing, school maintenance, school security, and everything in between. District purchasing agents do not need to advertise or delay making important purchases because all of the pre-purchasing work has been done on their behalf. If the products desired are not available through the current vendors, AEPA will locate a vendor and negotiate the best price for you while leveraging the buying power of the national consortium. The PAEC Cooperative State Purchasing Program is backed by Florida’s oldest educational consortium with a 45-year history of serving its member districts with essential services. Go online to learn more about how your district can participate in this free program or visit the PAEC website and look for the PAEC Cooperative State Purchasing link. 24 29 KYOCERA offers an award-winning comprehensive range of device technology, from desktop printers and multifunctional printers, to robust color and black & white multifunctional products.
